Tip it over and out, experts

I don't have a clue what the car is, but as this is AutoPuzzles, I assume the dog is called Rover!

Is it human powered?

Quiller · « **Reply #5 on:** July 29, 2009, 02:31:17 PM »

I'm afraid I don't know much about this car, but I suspect it probably is human powered

Schlupppppppp

Alors! After 18 months I think I may be able to help that guy finally put the car on the ground, as it is a Petit Puce from the late 1970s.

The Petit Puce (little flea) was a French-built version of the American PPV (People Powered Vehicle), but using a small petrol engine to supplement the pedal power.

Ah, le Petit Puce (PPV) looks a little different to this ...

Djetset · « **Reply #9 on:** November 08, 2010, 01:09:52 PM »

Ah merde! I thought I'd finally cracked it. Is this one a pedal/motor combo too, like the Petit Puce?

Quiller · « **Reply #10 on:** November 08, 2010, 08:06:53 PM »

I'm not sure about the motive power but I'm guessing it's human-powered...

With that lovely GS in the background, is this a french car ?

Djetset, where do you get information about the "Petit Puce" ? I have this name on a list of totally unknown microcars, and I just never found anything about it.

As you already know, I'm trying to find some valuable history on every "brand", even the most obscure ! Where this "Petit Puce" was made ?

Quiller · « **Reply #12 on:** November 17, 2010, 08:11:57 AM »

Yes it is French!

Yes! 'Standable' car probably more accurately...

Bravo PJ, it's great to see this one resolved after six years as it's been bugging me for all of that time!

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #18 on:** August 08, 2015, 05:47:56 AM »

I found 1 more pic and a drawing of it...I can post them for the 2nd missing point.

Did I miss giving you a point for this, PJ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #21 on:** October 28, 2015, 03:56:07 PM »

It depends...if you meant to give me 2, you did miss one.

Quiller · « **Reply #22 on:** November 13, 2015, 09:59:52 AM »

OK, you need the points!
